I use both Emacs ( have used it for decades ) and began using Neovim recently.

Neovim seems fairly reasonable. Using the LazyVim distribution of Neovim and it works quite well for my purposes.

Distros help a lot shielding you from the churn, but lazyvim is maintained by folke who I hear loves breaking changes. Back when I used lazyvim I remember people complaining that he swapped out some major component randomly, I think it was auto complete.

Respect where it's due to folke, he's been pushing the neovim ecosystem forward incredibly fast. The bleeding edge just ain't everyone's style though.
